2013-14 Iowa State Men's Hoops Prospectus

“Bubu is another guy we will count on,” Hoiberg said. “He’s a fifth-year senior that has had some really good moments here. He’s going to have to pick it up on the offensive end this year and from what he has shown this summer I think he’ll do just that. I believe he’ll be our best defensive player and will guard the other team’s best offensive player on a nightly basis.”

If bubu is going to be starting five, I think we are going to have some major problems. He is a tough kid with some talent , but does not have the physical attributes or just insane talent for us to be good in the big 12.

I'm really torn over whether I should listen to you, or Coach Hoiberg. Tough one.

To be fair, Cyclones2001 didn't say Hoiberg was wrong to start Palo, only that he thought we would be in trouble if that were the case. Palo could be the best option to start at PG and we could still be in trouble.

I for one have enough confidence in the talent on this team that I doubt this is the case; if Hoiberg honestly thinks Palo will start I am guessing its the right move. He (Hoiberg) did state that MT and MM will have some growing pains but are progressing. This definitely holds open the possibility that, say, Palo starts in non-conference but some younger guys play in by conference time, much like many here have predicted.

Re: 2013-14 Iowa State Men's Hoops Prospectus

Palo has earned the right to start. But to be really good I think he has to look for his shot unlike last year and before that. I remember many times he was wide open and elected to pass it to someone else who really wasn't open. He drove the lane a lot and hit most of his free throws so maybe knowing there is nobody named Lucious or Allen ahead of him will give him more confidence now that he's the guy.
